French Fries image

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these are better than the ones from the fast food restaurants...

Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 large russets or yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into french fries
6 c (1 1/2 quarts) vegetable oil, or as needed
ground himalayan sea salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Using a mandolin or by hand, cut potatoes evenly. Fill up a large bowl with cold water and add potatoes, tossing them around to release the starch. Empty the bowl and refill it again with cold water; toss and refill one more time.
  • 2. Transfer the bowl to the fridge and chill for 2 hours and up to 24 hours for extra-crispy fries.
  • 3. A couple hours later, drain potatoes in a colander; let them sit for 15 minutes.
  • 4. Place a clean towel on a cutting board and drop the potatoes on it. Using paper towels, pat the potatoes dry; set aside.
  • 5. In a Dutch oven, heat oil until it reaches 300ºF.
  • 6. Working in batches, blanch fries for 2 to 4 minutes depending on the thickness.
  • 7. Using a spider strainer or slotted spoon, remove potatoes and place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels; cool while working with the others.
  • 8. Increase oil temperature to 375ºF. Add blanched potatoes (the temperature will drop) and fry until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
  • 9. Scoop fries up and transfer them to a clean baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  • 10. Transfer the fries to a large bowl and season with salt to taste.

These fries were a huge disappointment. They were soggy and bland.

I didn't like the flavor of these fries. The paprika and garlic powder were too overpowering.

These fries were a bit too greasy for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly but my fries didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked. Not sure what I did wrong.

The fries were good but I think they could have been a bit more crispy. I'll try cooking them for a few more minutes next time.

I'm not a huge fan of french fries but these were really good. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of deep frying. But I'm so glad I did! The fries were crispy and delicious, and not at all greasy.

My kids are picky eaters but they devoured these fries. They said they were the best fries they've ever had.

I've tried many french fry recipes but this one is definitely the best. The fries came out so crispy and golden brown.
